Chapter 533 Leaving the Small Space of the Demon Beast Realm
It's impossible to collect every last snail; there are aquatic plants that obstruct some view.
So, even if you feel like you've picked up all the snails, go back and look again, and you'll find a few left. Qin Lang and Rong Yan, heads down, carefully searched for snails in the stream, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Qin Xun also wanted to find more of these; they tasted especially good when stir-fried with chili peppers.
After dark, everyone found a cultivation group to rest.
They were about to leave, and early the next morning, Lin Yao summoned Su Shizi and a few others to kill a high-level demonic beast, the kind that's delicious, somewhat like a cow. Fortunately, it was small and not very strong in combat.
Qin Bi received ribs and twenty catties of monster meat, as well as cow hooves and some miscellaneous items. Qin Bi put away the monster meat and led everyone back to the stream where they found the snails.
"There are snails again???!!" Qin Lang exclaimed in surprise.
Qin Bi walked closer and examined the snails in the water more closely: "There aren't many."
The stream was shallow and cold because it was winter.
But the shallow stream was very clear, and there was a layer of snails in the water. They weren't the kind that were spaced out one by one, but rather a whole layer that you could reach out and scoop them up.
Rong Yan also went over and took a look: "Not bad, not bad at all. How many more snails did you expect? So many gathered overnight. We caught quite a few yesterday. I thought there wouldn't be any left today. We're lucky to have these snails."
Rong Yan was content.
There were also snails today, which was a pleasant surprise.
After catching them all, it's usually hard to find snails anymore.
Especially this kind of spiritual food, how many of them are there for you to come across?
The young masters of the Duke of Su's mansion were all astonished. When they saw that it was a snail, they were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths. They looked around curiously by the stream. Qin Tan and Qin Di had already heard that Qin Bi and the others had found snails, but they didn't expect that there were snails in the stream.
"Wow!" said the young man from the Duke of Su's mansion. "How could there be such a rare thing? It's winter. Snails are rare even in spring and summer. How could there be such a rare thing as snails in the dead of winter?"
Everyone agreed with this statement.
Everyone thinks it's all about luck. If it weren't for luck, what would you be doing here? You'd be lucky if you didn't run into a few high-level monsters chasing you. The small space of the monster world is full of dangers.
"Our luck is amazing," said the Second Young Master Su, munching on a sweet radish.
Qin Bixiao was indeed very powerful. The little luck group that Qin Lang brought was also very powerful. Whenever they needed luck, no matter how far away, the little luck group would rush over.
"Sigh!" Qin Bi felt complicated. This was the true fortune of her Qin Yan Marquis's mansion.
But how could someone like Qin He come from such a mansion as the Marquis of Qin Yan's residence?
Su Shizi said to Qin Bi, "You catch the ones you find first. Catch a rough one, and then we'll catch more. We're curious about these rare things and want to try them. We can just pick up some later and that will be enough to eat."
Qin Bi didn't stand on ceremony, opened her storage bag, and took out several baskets.
None of us are the kind of people who would steal things. Besides, with Lin Yao and Qin Tan keeping things in check, no one would take it for themselves. The Duke of Su's family are relatives, so they wouldn't do that.
The second young master of the Su family dragged a basket and beckoned several young masters from the Su family to help carry it.
Qin Tang, Jiang Xu, and the third son of the concubine also started to hug. Qin Bi, Qin Tan, and Qin Di were looking for shrimp. The third uncle and father found them for her. Everyone knew that Qin Bi had finally had Rong Yang and Rong Chi, so they had to cherish the children.
There were also small fish and river shrimp, which were caught and given to Qin Bi.
Qin Bi felt embarrassed and left some for Qin Tan and Qin Di: "There are children waiting at home, so give them some. These small shrimp have spiritual energy and low combat level, which is good for children."
Qin Di thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll leave some for your nephews."
They gathered a few more baskets of snails, but Qin Bi didn't want the rest. It wasn't that she didn't want them, but she felt embarrassed to take them all. Everyone else had children, including Qin Lang's age, who all loved to eat them. It wouldn't be right for her to take them all after they had gathered them.
Su Shizi and Qin Tang put some water in the basket. Lin Yao saw that the snails wouldn't die, so he told Qin Bi to put them in the storage bag.
Next, everyone searched for the remaining snails. Those who were lucky could find ten or so catties, while those who were unlucky only picked up three or five catties. By this time, it was almost noon. Qin Xun, Qin Lang, and Rong Yan gave the river shrimp they had caught to Qin Bi.
“Let’s go back,” Qin Tan said.
Everyone put their belongings into storage bags and followed Qin Tan to the place where the teleportation array was set up. Several cultivation teams also wanted to go back, so everyone stood in the teleportation array, and the official from the Ministry of Revenue activated it.
The teleportation point was directly to the Ministry of Revenue. People from the Qin Yan Marquis's residence and the Rong King's residence saw it and immediately went there.
"Has Qin Yan returned?" Qin Tan asked the people from the Ministry of Revenue.
"Prince Qin?" The Ministry of Revenue official said, "No, if Prince Qin were with Princess Xue, they wouldn't need the Ministry of Revenue's teleportation array. Princess Xue is a disciple of a celestial sect and doesn't lack teleportation arrays."
As they talked, the various cultivation teams inquired about each other's gains.
When Qin Bi heard that Qin Yan hadn't returned with the team yet, she thought it was good that Qin He hadn't returned either, which made things easier for them.
As Qin Bi was thinking, Rong Yang saw Qin Bi and called out, "Mother."
Qin Bi suddenly looked over and saw the young prince bringing Rong Yang over.
Rong Yang ran towards Qin Bi: "Mother, I came to pick you up. I didn't expect you to come back just in time."
Qin Bi couldn't help but smile, her joy genuine: "Rong Yang."
Qin Bi bent down and picked up the little dumpling: "Why did you come to pick me up?"
"I was thinking of coming to pick up my mother." Rong Yang was also happy: "So I came. My little prince brother and I have been waiting for her since morning. Luckily, I didn't go home for dinner, or I would have missed her."
Rong Yang's voice was sweet and childlike; she was small yet heartwarming.
Overjoyed, Qin Bi told Qin Tan, Qin Di, and her brothers, then carried Rong Yang onto the carriage. The little prince also climbed on, and Lin Yao bowed to everyone before mounting his horse and riding away together.
On the way back, Qin Bi sat in the carriage, holding Rong Yang in her arms: "Rong Yang, I brought you and Rong Chi some delicious food."
"What is it?" Rong Yang asked.
Qin Bi didn't keep them in suspense and eagerly presented her treasure, grabbing a handful of small, sweet radishes with leaves from her storage bag: "Try these with the little prince, they're very sweet."
Rong Yang was overjoyed, while the young prince was envious.
Qin Bi was wiping a small sweet radish on her clothes, and the little prince was wiping it on his robe. Rong Yang took a bite of the small sweet radish that Qin Bi had given him, and the child's eyes immediately lit up.
“Delicious,” Rong Yang said.
Qin Bi also took some food: "I found a lot for you and Rong Chi."
Qin Bi then picked out a small red sweet radish and a small yellow sweet radish for Rong Yang. Children like colorful things, so Rong Yang took them, and the little prince glanced at them.
After finishing a handful of small sweet radishes, Qin Bi grabbed another handful.
Upon arriving at the Rongwang Mansion, Rong Jun stood tall and elegant in front of the mansion gate, holding the little baby in his arms.
Qin Bi alighted from the carriage, and the little baby, seeing her, fluttered his wings and cried, "Mother!" (End of Chapter)
